Evil Spirit are a band from Germany that plays a mixture
of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2014
album "Cauldron Messiah" which was re-issued by Terror From
Hell Records.

Evil sounding keyboards start off
the album along with some clean singing vocals and after a
few seconds the music goes into a heavier direction along with
some high pitched screams that are black metal influenced and
all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to
them and you can also hear some dark sounding melodies in
the riffs.

Most of the music is very heavily
rooted in doom metal and the clear vocals bring in some of t
he more early 80's side of the genre and when the music
speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard and after awhile more old school death metal elements can be heard in the music along with a small amount of growling vocals and a couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length and clean guitars can also be heard briefly on the last track.

Evil Spirit plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in doom metal while also adding in black and death metal elements to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover divine comedy, religions and gore themes.

In my opinion Evil Spirit are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eye Of The Beholder" and "Cauldron Messiah". 8 out of 10.
